Still Here, Still Writing

I know it’s been a few months since my last post, but I’m still here, still writing!

I’ve also been taking a writing course and working on several short stories, which has kept me busy and inspired. I hope to share more with you soon.

The Wizard and the Raven explores longing, transformation, and the price we pay to become someone—or something else. I wrote it for readers who love dark fairy tales, enchanted objects, and the horror of repetition. Blurb: On a dark and stormy night, a raven perches on a rotting branch.
